Is it held up securely? Maybe needs some big washers unders some of the nuts to hold it up properly?

Pull it off?

Or pull it down a few cm's so it cant rattle against the cat..

Secure the exhaust to the securing parts. Where it joins to the car just wrap a couple of jubilee clips around it to hold it down to the to brackets.
